Simple, satisfying. — 7 years ago
Generally not a big fan of cabernet franc, but this was recommended to me as an especially good example. Glad I tried it. Not heavy, but distinct notes of fruit and earth/leather. Really good abd sophisticated, especially at this price ($28 I think). Recommended by Lower Falls Wine Shop in Wellesley, MA. — 21 days ago
This is bonkers good. So fresh. Berries, currant, sage, some flowers, cherries, some pepper and herbs, good acidity, long tart lovely finish. Killer cab franc. — 6 months ago
Very light yellow robe, nose of litchi, citrus and hints of butter. Very long in the mouth, complex, elegant, good balance of body and acidity and great finish. This is fantastic now but might improve still with some more bottle time: — 8 months ago
Light yet remarkably flavourful. Price point gives it some extra love from me. — 6 years ago
Well done. — 3 months ago
Time to open one of these 2017’s.
This very pleasant. Nicely Rounded out with 7 yrs or so in bottle.
The mouthfeel shows nice viscosity. It is round & a little waxy. Shows beautiful honeysuckle notes, golden apple, Meyer lemon, light lime juice, not quite pineapple syrup, green apple is late to the party, pink grapefruit w/ a light sprinkle of sugar, mango, some green melon, marmalade fruits quality-orange peel, yellow peaches, dryish apricots, warm caramel, dry chalk-limestone powder, fine grain, grey volcanic minerals, saline, soft flintiness, hints of white pepper, sea fossils, light saline, warm, well done toast, white flowered, yellow lilies, excellent acidity with a round, lush, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and lands on beautiful minerals.
Really excellent with the Jasper Hill Farms Champagne Washed Harbison. Limited release. Might be the best pair w/ this cheese to date. — 6 months ago
Sweet liquor with strong grape aroma — a year ago
Powerful and dense, nicely juxtaposed by the racy chalkiness and snap of its acidity. Some post-disgorgement age has brought great balance and complexity. There’s ripe/baked apple, asian pear, orange peel, white strawberry, fresh dough, chalk, nutmeg, salt, some honey. Can clearly sense the 50/50 CH/PN and their respective terroirs. Kudos for purity given its low-to-no SO2 upbringing, which I find particularly hard to execute in Champagne. 5/2016 disgorgement. — 6 years ago
Beautifully balanced. Would enjoy as a starter or with a burger and steak. So versatile. — 6 years ago
